Loving God, Loving Others, Making Disciples
Loving God, Loving Others, Making Disciples
Sermons by Paul Cook (Page 18)
2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone… 6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince…
6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6 For us to find true Joy, we must submit to the Glory of God which is found in Jesus.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 God’s love for us is unconditional, personable, and accessible – however we still find ourselves at times unworthy, worn out, burdened by the struggles of life.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 There are a lot of very smart people telling us what truth is, and some of them will be right. The trick is, we don’t know who. Politicians have an angle, pundits…
13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”…
Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” Mark 1:14-15 We are all devoted to something. Kids, work, money, entertainment, something. To whom or what are you devoted to? What are your beliefs?…
